Migration notes (2)Added during migration, not part of the original

These notes identify specific differences or review needs. They are not a review of the whole procedure.

Source code presence is not standard-release availability

Checked against pinned source

Bisq 2 v2.1.15's MuSig activation requires DevMode; the desktop configuration sets devMode=false. Wallet navigation is bound to MuSig activation, although Wallet implementation code exists. The Wallet controller's manual restore callback is still a TODO. Neither an old launch-time statement that there is no wallet nor a roadmap list establishes the current availability of a standard integrated-wallet recovery workflow.

Bisq 2 snapshots and manual backup are distinct

Checked against pinned source

The pinned Bisq 2 v2.1.15 implementation thins automatic store backups and can prune them by size. Manual Support/Resources backup is a separate data-directory copy; its UI warns that the backup is not encrypted. The copy intentionally excludes some runtime files and can retain external Tor credentials. Neither a local rolling snapshot nor an external wallet seed establishes that all application state is protected against device loss.
